Eastwood Grange School (Priory Education Services)
Special needs catered for
Eastwood Grange provides specialist education, care and therapy within a structured learning environment for boys with severe behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Many of the young people in our care may have experienced trauma, inconsistent and confusing care and emotional rejection. Their behaviour will be challenging and most will have experienced considerable disruption to their education and consequently lack confidence in their own abilities.

Specialist facilities
We provide a high quality, positive residential experience for pupils who have both failed within, and been failed by the system. Our primary role is the management of change. We aim to help our pupils to understand their problems and to identify and implement ways of alleviating them. We aim to reverse the downward spiral of failure and replace it with optimism through finely graded, achievable goals. We believe positive approaches produce positive changes which can compensate for past failure and prepare youngsters for the future.
Support services provided
Individual needs are thoroughly assessed and intervention strategies are implemented within the 24-hour curriculum. Individual support and counselling are provided through a key worker system.
Education
The National Curriculum is followed and we cater for varying levels of ability with pupils working towards nationally accredited exams, including GCSEs. Systematic classroom management strategies are used to provide positive reinforcement for pupils and encourage pro-social behaviour.
Aims and philosophy
Our aim is to make a difference to the lives of young people who have behavioural, emotional and social difficulties by being a centre of excellence for education, residential care and therapy. Through the management of change we help young people to redress negative experiences and develop their potential.
Awarded ‘Outstanding’ OFSTED status for the last five years (care).
